I dont think you can use many PL lenses, this is somewhat unclear, I would be interested in a 10-xx S16 lens on that camera

Nikon and canon glass is pretty scarce in the 8-10mm range (that is what is required on this sensor to give a FF28 look or thereabouts)

Its also slow, you cant get any 1.8 canikon lenses in sub 20mm, due to the small sensor f2 will give a nice look similar I geuess to 5.6 on a FF35

Basically there is one plastic canon crappo zoom 10-XX

There is also the Tonka 11-16 which has quite a good rep, also slow at 2.8

Cmount wont go on.

As for lens res, it is important to consider projected area, - a canon lens might resolve 6000 lines across its image circle which is (I guess) 2000 lines on the black magic sensor, being just the middle - that should be enough

I guess lenses designed for small sensors have higher res per unit area of image circle..

Altogether a bad design driven by (as you suggest) a few canon fan boys and no optical engineers apparently

There is nothing more versatile when it comesTo lenses than the m4/3 sensors.

The zuiko digital from the pro line are the bestGlasses you can mount to date on a digital bodyAnd recognized as such. They are what the leitz Were to Analog cams .

I had the chance on set to compare them With the best canon pro line because a shooterwho was doing the making-of used those zuiko digitaland the quality is absolutly stunning, up with the best Leicas.

If only pana would boost the next gh to more than8 bits we would compeat with the alexa output for 1000 euros.(with still the hassles of the mini HDMI etc...)
